Whatever the circumstances were( I heard rumors a a bad weight cut and some depression), he was beat. He should have to work his way back into the title picture just like anybody else.
He lost his first professional MMA fight. Keeping that in mind, when he fought Dillashaw, his record was 32-1 with 1 NC.

He went 33 fights without a loss. That can happen in boxing, but in MMA, that is utterly ridiculous. I'm not sure you did appreciate what that meant. I don't care how good Dillashaw looked in beating Barao, if you don't give Barao an immediate rematch, then I'd argue no one should ever get an immediate rematch short of being obviously robbed by the refs.
